Amigurumi Easter Egg demo

Not for beginners. Made for intermediate crocheters, this video demonstrates how to make an egg shaped form. It also demonstrates the invisible decrease for single crochet. It moves a bit fast, but all the instructions are subtitled. The pattern can be found on my blog, http://wiremysoul.blogspot.com

it was a little hard for me to see exactly how and what you did. i am thinking of getting a ferret and thanks to a suggestion, i was going to crochet an easter egg 'shaker'. so instead of using stuffing, could you put a real plastic easter egg inside of it?

[WireMySoul]

@Dakota7257 As long as the plastic egg is the right size, this would make an excellent cover for a shaker toy! Great idea!

How do you get your loops so loose yet so tight? I try to get mine loose then they are either to loose or to tight. When I try to tighten it up I can't get my hook to go through D:

[WireMySoul]

@fluffyfan07 Don't tighten your stitches. Mine aren't tight, they just look full and close together because I use a hook smaller than what is recommended on the yarn label. If you're using worsted weight yarn, try using a 3.5mm or 4mm hook instead of what the label says, and keep your tension loose enough that your fabric is squishy, not firm. Don't over-stuff it either, put in just enough stuffing to fill the form without straining the stitches at all. Good luck!
